Sarah has earned a BFA at Central Michigan University and an MFA at the University of Alabama. She has an extensive national exhibition record and is currently Head of the Art Department and Upper School Art Faculty at the Louise McGehee School in New Orleans, LA. Sarah has lectured, lead workshops and instructed courses at many locations throughout The South including The Ogden Museum of Art in New Orleans, Western Kentucky University, Loyola University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Arrowmont School of Art, St. Andrews-Sewanee School and Craft and the University of Alabama as well as being artist in residence in Paducah Kentucky, the Vermont Studio Center and at the Wayne Professional Print Workshop at Wayne State University.

Sarah's workshops will be appropriate for all levels from beginner to the experienced printmaker.

Sarah will share her approach to mixing up and breaking down the process of printmaking in order to create original and unique prints. Students will learn trace monotype, collographic print processes, Pronto / Polyester plate lithography and simple relief prints to explore the imdeiacy of making while utilizing the potential of repetition that is inherent to printmaking.

Students will use these processes to explore the concealing and revealing of images and ideas. Working back into a print to personalize the end art work will be encouraged. Each student will have the opportunity to realize these concepts and to investigate new ones. Sarah's goal for students will be to create layers that lead the artist toward realizing the final piece. Come and be inspired by the mono-print process!
